Each academician can recount numerous
highs and lows in their teaching career. Personally, I have encountered the same experience too. These were the days when my students sometimes seemed
uninterested,too talkative or even worse; a blow up occurred and
nothing got accomplished. Thankfully, the average combined with the
positive days outshine my negative days. Through my almost 2 years of
teaching and working in education line, I have learned so much about
teaching and dealing with students.
In this semester, I am teaching a few
DMI subjects; Radiographic Pathology and Radiographic
Procedures 1. I usually start a lesson by asking my students to translate a few related medical terms to layman words and I
must say this really gets them all to be involved. Sometimes, I will offer my help and guidance to some students who are weak by giving extra lesson or tutorial. This has brought
significant changes in their attitude and academic results. By
doing this, I feel very rewarding.

For me, teaching is a daily challenging
work. It is a very demanding profession and it is worth being committed
to it. As an academician, we need to be
responsible, hardworking, creative in teaching, self-controlled, organised and willing to share our knowledge with others. That
is the reason why we need to increase our knowledge and update ourselves by reading extensively. With all the criteria needed, academician really need to be able to deliver their
very best to the students.
